Question: What is Full Outer Join With Exclusion?
Answer: I got this question after reading my earlier blog post about SQL SERVER – Introduction to JOINs – Basic of JOINs. The question was from my regular client of Comprehensive Database Performance Health Check.
His question was that while I have explained lots of a different kind of join, why I have not explained the Full Outer Join With Exclusion.
While the question is very valid, I did have explained a join type which is NOT INNER JOIN in my tutorial which is actually synonyms of the Full Outer Join With Exclusion. It gives all NOT common records of both the tables, that means it is actually inverse of the inner join and many often call it Not Inner Join.
Here is how you can represent it with the help of an image.
So there you go. Now you know what is the Outer Join w Exclusion. You can read all the different kind of joins in my previous blog post over here.
